We have just released a new version of Clipperz password manager that fixes a bug related to native JSON support. The bug was affecting only those using Firefox 3.1. Beta 1 or Beta 2.
Firefox 3.1 includes TraceMonkey, the new Javascript engine. It’s an evolution of SpiderMonkey that uses a new kind of Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler to boost Javascript performance by an order of magnitude or more.
Unfortunately Firefox 3.1 also introduced a DOM binding (the global object JSON) for the native JSON parser; the DOM binding “shadows” the JSON object from the json2.js library currently used by Clipperz for JSON de/serialization. The native parser doesn’t yet support de/serialization of primitive (string, number, boolean) objects (only object literals and arrays) hence the card creation process results in being broken in Firefox 3.1 Beta.
As soon as Firefox 3.1 will provide full support for JSON de/serialiazation (planned for Beta 3) we will switch to the native JSON parser, taking full advantage of speed improvements.
new release
Oh yes. I’m missing at least german language support and a not so “spacy” GUI. I have hundreds of cards and therfore these cards should be presented more compact. A grouping feature would be also nice (i.e. “Banking”, “Email-Services”, “Community”, etc.). This way I would find my cards much faster.
otherwise: great stuff
